I am afraid that I will miss the May meeting, though I hope to make it in June. Does anyone who has origins in Lancashire want to have some copies of the Lancashire Magazine? Each issue has one or more short articles about various places in that county, usually with attractive photographs. If there is an interest let me know and I will bring them to the June meeting.

Hmmm. My grandparents & their parents lived in Barrow in Furness in Lancashire (on the coast) from 1879-about 1940... I'd love to see the magazines! They never talked about living there. See you in June.

I looked over the issues I have and did not notice an article on Barrow-in-Furness but there were articles on about 58 different places, in some case several articles. I made a list in case anyone wants to ask about a particular place. There was one short article about tracing family history.

This Meetup group is about sharing our interest in Genealogy and our family history and heritage. Our venues are casual. We share knowledge, tips, ask questions, often enjoy coffee or tea, and ultimately find out who we are - past and present.

Themes can include material for writers, creative presentations, family albums, heritage scrapbooks, as well as techniques to track our heritage, computer tips and assistance. Novices, practiced genealogists and the 'curious' are all welcome.
